Well, I tried it, and the result was not as expected.  Putting text onto a
memory context with a black background and either a clWhite or clYellow
foreground, then BitBlt-ing that memory context text onto a clNavy canvas
using SRCINVERT, produced clYellow sprite text.  Any colour of foreground
other than clWhite or clYellow produced an invisible sprite.  Beats me.
